The "cover" 16 is th'enfrenioved "to" ex- "frubbed tvithfthefend of-the soap stijekpin the usual jnanrier, 'after, which the hover 16 "is f -repraeed;se ving*thereafter as a handle for this, the shield 19, of celluloid, cloth or other suitable material, is Wrapped about the brush and contracted around the bristles to permit both the brush and the shield to be inserted in the cover 18, thus preventing injury tothe bristles. Preferably, the shield 19 is formed of resilient material and shaped to a diameter normally greaterthan the in side diameter of the brush cover, as shown in -Fig. 6, whereby it will tend to press against the sides of the cover away from the bristles remaining in the cover whenthe brush is subsequently removed. c

It is to be noted, that the brush 2 and the central portion 1 which constitutes its mounting, together with cover 18 may be separated from the soap stick with its holder and cover, so that they may be separately packed and still be protected. After the soapvhasbeen used up to the level of the edge of the holder 6 the holder may be detached from the brush and replaced by a new, duplicate stick and holder, the stick being made up with the holder. Thus the stick and holder combined, as shown in Fig.

4, constitute a recharge or renewal.

While I have here shown a preferred specific embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all such changes as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims are contemplated by me.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to procure in Letters Patent is:

, 1. In combination, a soap stick, a metal holder or base therefor formed with a central hollow boss or projection with a closed bottom embedded in one end of and rigidly supporting the soap stick, said holder also having a flange projecting beyond the sides of the soap stick, and a cover or shell, de-

tachably fitted to said projecting flange, surrounding and inclosing the soap stick but out of contact therewith, said boss or projection having means to receive and retain the head end of a shaving brush projecting oppositely from the soap stick, whereby when the brush and cover are in place, the latter serves as a handle for the former, and

when the .cover is detached, the soap stick is completely exposed.

2. Ashaving brush and soap stick holder comprising a coupling member shaped to form two concentric nested chambers open at opposite ends only, one of the chambers being formed to receive the end of a soap stick, and the other of said chambers bein formed to receive and hold the handle of a shaving brush.

3. A holder for a shaving brush and soap stick having a pair of concentric nested brush.

5. A holder for a shaving brush and soap stick comprising a coupling member shaped to form two chambers one within the other and open at opposite ends only, one of said cha-mbers being arranged to receive and hold a soap stick by one end thereof and the other said chamber being arrangedto receive and hold the handle of a shaving brush. a i

The combination of a shaving stick an holder therefor comprising a holder member shaped to form two chambers one within the other and open at opposite ends only, the inner chamber being formed to receive and hold the end of a shaving brush handle, a soap stick having one end shaped to fit within said outer chamber spaced fromthe outer wall thereof and havingan annular groove near said end within said outer chamber, the wall of said outer chamber having an annular groove in its inner surface, and a filler occupying the space within the said grooves and between said soap stick and said outer wall to anchor said soap stick in said holder member.

7 The combination of'a shaving stick and holder therefor comprising a holder member shaped to form two. chambers one within the other and open atopposite ends only,

the inner chamber being formed to receive and hold the end of a shaving brush handle, a soapfstick having ,one end shapedto fit within saidvouter chamber spaced from the outer wall thereof and having an annular groove near said end within said. outer chamber, the wall of said outer chamber having an annular groove in its inner. surface, and a filler occupying the space within the said grooves and between said soap stick and said outer wall to anchor said soap stick in said holder member, together with a casing arranged to inclose said soap stick and en gage the outer wall of said outer chamber. In testimony whereof I aflix my signa ture.
